Unread features the standards of RSS readers we've come to expect, including sharing with normal "read it later" services and social networks, along with background sync.

What's notable about Unread is the user-interface and gestures found in the app. Instead of using traditional buttons for navigation, almost all navigation in the app is done exclusively with gestures. Swipe down to refresh, swipe left to view the menu, or swipe right to go back a screen.

The interface is simple, using design queues from iOS 7 to bring a flat look to the news in your RSS feed, without unnecessary clutter.

Unread is currently available for $2.99, a launch special according to the App Store description.
